How excretion of gases, water & material takes place in plants?

1 Answer

Answer :

Removal of Gases: -

Green plants give off oxygen as waste in the daytime and carbon dioxide at night.

Removal of Water: -

• Excess water is removed as water vapour by the process of transpiration.

• Excess water is removed as water droplets by the process of guttation.

Removal of Latex, Resins and Gums: -

These waste materials are produced in special ducts and canals present in the body of

plants. They trickle out with the damaged parts.

Description : Excretion in Hemichordates takes place by – (1) Glomerulus (2) Pronephron (3) Mesortephron (4) Metanephron

Last Answer : (1) Glomerulus Explanation: The glomerulus functions as an excretory organ in hemichordates. Soluble wastes are collected from the blood by the glomerulus, lying within the proboscis cavity, and excreted from that cavity through a dorsal pore (an opening on the upper side) to the outside.
